The best women's leather jackets to add to your wardrobe ASAP
Our top-rated products from Marks & Spencer, John Lewis and Cos
A leather jacket is a wardrobe essential. Perfect for wearing nearly all year round, they can smarten up any outfit.
They're also a great layering piece for throwing on over dresses, jumpers, t-shirts and more.
There are two types of leather jackets to add to your closet: those made from 100% leather, which are super-soft, durable and age well over time, and faux leather, which tend to be much more affordable.
Our shopping guide features both real and f, with cropped, biker and oversized styles spanning a range of budgets and designs across the great British high street.
Here's our top 12 leather jackets for women to shop now.
